Title: Improving local context search results
Inventor: PILOT RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-11-05
Abstract: The application relates to a method, system and computer program product for locally handling a query statement destined for a wide area network search engine. The method comprises determining possible results provided after querying local network devices in the system. A query statement destined for the wide area network search engine in intercepted and a relevance value(s) for the possible results with regard to the query statement is determined. Relevant results from the local area network devices are returned in response to the query statement if the relevance value is above a threshold. Relevant local devices may be queried in response to the intercepted query statement or the results may be returned from cached results. Only the results from the local networked devices may be returned if the wider area network search engine query times out.

Title: Method and system for powering a flash tube
Inventor: POLLARD LEO WILLIAM
IPC: H05B41/34
Filed: 2014-08-29
Abstract: A flashing beacon 100 can emit a pulse of light each time a capacitor 145 discharges electricity into a flash tube 140, such as a xenon tube. A circuit can charge the capacitor in preparation for each discharge. The circuit can vary the rate of capacitor charging during the charging cycle.

The circuit can feed the capacitor a series of pulses of electricity, with at least some of the pulses having progressively increasing energy content, for example by varying the pulse duration. The circuit can reduce current spikes and avoid simmering of the flash tube.

Title: Container closure assembly with vent
Inventor: ROGER MILNER KING
IPC: B65D51/16
Filed: 2014-11-13
Abstract: Gas is vented from within a container neck 12 (neck features are dashed lines in the cross-section) at least when the closure 16 (dotted lines in the cross-section) is in a venting position (fig 4D). The closure 16 has circumferentially overlapping screw thread segments 26 which engage lugs 20 in the container neck 12 and forms a seal 46, 48 when closed. When opening the closure 16, the lugs 20 can engage shoulder blocks 44 in the thread segments 26, which locks the closure in the venting position while under axial pressure (e.g. for safety), whereby recesses 34 adjacent the lugs 20 in the container neck 12 (see fig 4D) cooperate with the gaps between the threads 26 to allow the gas inside to escape. After venting, when there is no upwards axial pressure on the closure, the closure can drop down so lugs 20 disengage from shoulder blocks 44 (fig 4E) to allow further unscrewing of the closure (fig 4F). The neck may have a guide 64 to engage with the threads 26 of the closure to urge the closure away from the neck during unscrewing. Locking ribs 68 may cooperate with ramps 70 to prevent unwanted opening and there may be a tamper evident ring 56.

Title: Systems and methods for compressing a digital signal
Inventor: CHESNEY BRIAN PARKER
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2015-06-24
Abstract: Compression of a digital microphone signal for transmission on a bus A digital compression circuit 106 uses a form of differential encoding in which the output codes depend on both the present and previous differences of digital audio samples from a multi-bit quantizer 120. The quantizer is part of a sigma-delta analogue-to-digital converter 104 coupled to a microphone 102. The output codes may be selected to reduce bit transitions, and a digital processing circuit 108 may instruct the compressor 106 to output words with more bits if the circuit 108 detects ultrasonic signal content. The feedback signal in the converter 104 may be derived from the output of the compression circuit 106 (figure 4). Multiple conversion and compression paths (figure 3) may be selected or combined to provide a larger dynamic range.
